Re: [microblaze-uclinux] uclinux / MicroBlaze SMP



Hey guys,

I dunno what documentation is available, but at my school (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) a grad student implemented an SMP system using the microblaze. I'm not sure how it works or if the functionality is at the level needed to run uCLinux, but if I can appropriate the files he's working with I will forward them to you.

Thanks,
Andy

For the applications we are considering, a 4-node SMP system should be
sufficient.  I do understand that the memory bandwidth is a big issue.

Are there enough BRAMs on a big part to make a NUMA architecture attractive?
The 2.6 version of the linux kernel has support for NUMA architectures.
